Question

The Unusual Suspects - overlooked VR games and apps you really need to try!

The Oculus Store - and Steam - have many games and apps with few ratings and reviews. And currently there's so much VR content that I believe most of us haven't got enough time to try it all.

This thread is dedicated to the potentially awesome games or apps that may have been lost/forgotten or overlooked. 

Some examples could be games with fewer than 20 ratings:

Final Assault - 16 ratings - average 96%

  


Bow to Blood - 3 ratings - average 100%


Actually these games are bad examples, because I haven't tried them. This thread is better suited to tell about a totally awesome VR game that you think other persons should know about. Games that so far have gotten little or no attention in this forum. 

My first real contribution to this thread could be Marble Land, it's cheap, has full Touch support, it's really a great puzzle game - great graphics and performance (even using high levels of super sampling) - and it has an awesome 96 % rating based on 13 ratings:

    Operation Warcade VR. It is Operation Wolf style arcade game with a twist. There are so called "immersive points" where you get in middle of action . Took me about 10 hours to get to last level open.

    It reminds me of a Xbox 360 game called Marble Blast. 

    However at $16.99CDN it’s not worth it.

    It does look great (for the brave dudes who enjoy VR horror 😄 ) - seems only to be available on Steam, and only to support Rift:

    Yup, it's quite good. All done by one developer too. It's quite buggy in places though but easily worth a fiver.

    Despite its minor flaws, from time to time I'm enjoying BlasterCell - it only costs $4 (if I remember correctly):

    Deisim VR. God simulator where you create your own world and see it living. Only one dev, but gets new content regulary.
    You can either play in sandbox mode with full powers open or normal game mode with slowly increasing your powers.

    Nice find, just bought it, it's only 8 bucks even though Early Access - did see the game in the Store some time ago, but never got back to it. In the Store it has a 92% average rating based on 13 ratings - but on Steam it's 9/10 based on 177 ratings. Some links and the trailer:

    That’s a great list! Many VR users often miss out on hidden gems that can offer unique experiences beyond mainstream titles. While exploring these lesser-known apps, it's also a good idea to consider tools that support your financial planning needs—like using a helpful rate cap estimate to stay on top of market trends. Mixing smart entertainment with smart finance is a win-win!

      I'm not going near that. I'm practically a god in real life, I want to do something DIFFERENT when I'm in VR  B)
